File Dear Mr.Salt, You will doubtless remember my sending you a carburetter with a special control. We have considerably improved on this now and I am attaching drawing of the scheme. In effect what this new control does is to give you a much slower fast idle and a gradually opening throttle with the enrichment of mixture, so that the tendency to over-richness at any point on the control, is if not eliminated, is at any rate very much lessened. Yours sincerely, [Signature] | ||
